WOW Ben seriously? You've done all MCQ from 2002 up till now, including MJ & ON? OMG
Anyways, can anyone please explain to me what is meant by this "US dollars will be dearer in terms of UK pounds." I don't understand what does dearer in this case means. And for this question, I put B but the answer is D.
Thanxx
Dearer means more expensive. As a currency depreciates imports become more EXPENSIVE and exports CHEAPER. MEMORISE THIS !!!
Because of the above rule it cant be either A or B.
With a depreciation in currency An American needs to spend LESS to get 1 pound then compared to before.
He WOULD have had to spend $1.8 to get 1 pound. Now he needs to spend $0.30 LESS.
A Britisher needs can only hope to purchase $1.50 compared to $1.80. A britisher needs to SPEND MORE to get the same value in American Currency than before.
Got it ?
